Thanks Ed.

 

No work around the farm, I have been driving my dad to different fields, getting a pen ready for my sister's sheep, and cutting up water troughs for the sheep. I have been working non-stop since I got home from school.

 

please educate me Lisa, so i will know what this means when i put my chip in next week.
and what were you set at when it happened??


how about an explanation of the parts needed and an install process Jim??

 

Jim needs to put together a kit with instructions!

 

I think I read in the tech section that Clay is getting ready to come out with an OBA real soon! I need to look at getting one or making one soon, I am tired of setting the SES.

Okay back to out reg OT talk.

 

So today I was moving the Jeep and instead of easing the parking brake off like I usually do. (pull the handle and let it up with my foot) I let it snap back cause I was rushing to move it.

When it snapped back it hit the stop and then the tach started working. It didn't work before.

Ah the randomness of old vehicles.

 

Your daughters are beautiful Ed. Better keep the gun handy.

I could see that also.

When the map sees 24-25 psi it defuels the truck so that you wont have an over boost and destroy the turbo. With the short WOT runs that we do we don't have to worry about turbo damage.

I'll take some pics and let you guys know. Basically you take an air regulator and preset it at 22 psi and put it in line with the map sensor this prevents the map from seeing anyting over 22 psi thus preventing the truck from defueling.

 

I'm by no means an electrician, but if you're running romex, I'd guess a simple PVC conduit embedded into the ICF before they pour will be acceptable. That way the wire can be pulled through the conduit inside the wall. If you're going to fur out the walls and hang sheetrock, then after the dampproofing is applied, you should be able to run the wiring just like it would be in a regular stud wall.

What Jim said. Just the standard adjustable air regulator like you install on an air compressor set to a level below the defueling point. Install it in your MAP hose so the sensor does not read the higher boost pressures. Just keep in mind the stock turbo is built to handle about 25 psi of boost. The more you go over that, the more likely you are to need to rebuild (or upgrade) your turbo.

 

Do you ever just feel like its time for a life change?
Just want to say hell with job current "life" your living and say stick a fork in me I am done?
I had that moment tonight. The young kid I had stay here had the city police, state troopers, sheriffs, everyone up here for hours... lil troll had locked and loaded AK47 in his room with enough ammo to wipe out my town. I sat there staring at the room bullets for days loaded clip in wardrobe and cops with gun in hand. Just frikken insane. Then to top it off some of the workers I have staying here told the kid I, me, Melissa, proprietor extraordinaire, Moose of all mooses...turned him in and I searched his room and ratted him out. WTH is that? So now my butt is target. I have tried to be nice I have tried to help people well I realized I cannot do this anymore. I am done here. I have always said that when I was supposed to walk away I would know. Well my time has come. I cannot live with the "always wondering" I have puked tonight more than when I had the flu two years ago, Tonight in the midst of everything I cried more tears of ever flavor inc fear, sadness, frustration you name it. I looked this kid just 18 years old in the eye and asked Why? All I got was an I'm sorry. Well the mom in me came out first. No yelling no cussing just Why? Then i for reasons unknown hugged and held "Jared" as he stood cuffed. I didn't know what else to do. I just felt like he needed it. As I walked away I turned and told him thank you for helping make my decision.
I will go clean the room which is upside down. I will not sleep for a few days or night for that matter. I am going to be looking over my shoulder jumping at every sound like i am right now. Ash said "Mom do you ever think bad people often come here to your motel out of a divine intervention of sorts because you stand up for things and they may have hurt someone had they gone somewhere else?" I told I learned never to rule everything out but ya know with all that has happened here in my short time I think my numbers about up. I cant keep dodging the bullet...no pun intended. Just a strange life especially in such a small town. Texas is looking perty damn good about now.
Just needed to get all that out. Thanks you for your ears. ......Melissa

BTW Jim thank you from bottom of my heart for text .....Meeeeeeooooowwwwww!

 

Since there has been so much about dating daughters....I have always loved this cartoon. My girls said it is so me.
Just for the record I love you guys a lot!

 

Wow Mel, I am really at a loss for words. Sounds like you have had quite an interesting day to say the least. If you ever need anyone else to talk to feel free to call me at anytime, I keep some very stange hours. We love you too!

 

Hey y'all.

 

I am praying for your protection right now.
Please read the story of how the Passover began.
Protection from above comes through knee mail.

 

Wow...Moose...that is a truly amazing story!

We had a family hostage situation last week on my block...fortunately it ended peacefully also!

 

Evenin' folks. Moose, I'm sorry to hear you had such a terrible experience. Hope you're okay.
